The orbital motion of interplanetary dust grains in the sublimation zone near the Sun has been considered for graphite and silicate. Calculations showed that dust grains with initial radii s = 0.5 - 5 μm can form regions of enhanced concentration. The inner corona is slightly enriched with particles s = 0.3 - 0.6 μm due to the departure of the evaporated grains onto highly elliptic orbits. However, they may be not recognized due to their small contribution to the total brightness along the line-of-sight compared with the background of the more typical Zodiacal particles. The astrosilicate dust grains do not form zones of enhanced concentration. Finally, particles with initial radii from 0.3 to 4 μm leave the Solar system and become β-meteoroids.
